G-Coupe Vs RX8 vs Del Sol in crowded parking lot (some impressive maneuvering)

I just wanted to share a funny story.

I am in on my way to my office- walking thru my building when I hear: "Hey man what's up!"
Me: Fine what's going on
Other guy: got something for ya- that's the first time I've seen your ride it's nice.
Me: Thanks
(I begin to walk off)
Me: I'll catch up with ya latter.
Other guy: Like I said- did you see what was parked beside you?
Me: Yeah, is that you?
Other Guy: You know it! We should go down to the track and let me show you up. You got an auto right? I can tell by your wheels...
Me: What that I have no Brembos?- you have good eyes.
I said this because the office building is about 150 yards from where I normally park and I hve 18's.
Other Guy: Those come with Brembos?
Me: Oh... well not any more- I guess you mean for the 05's
Other Guy: I guess- you probably know better than me but I though the wheels were always different for the auto.
Me: Yeah unless you get the sport wheel package- which I have.
Other guy: Oh well maybe my eyes aren;t so good- but I know I could still take you.
Me: I shrug my shoulders and l walk to my office.

Later this morning ( I walk out to my car to get something out that I forgot) The other guy is outside on a smoke break.
Other Guy: I want to check out your new ride...
Me: Sure but I have had it for a couple of years.
He follows me out to wher my car is.
To set the stage, my car is in a corner spot with the passenger side closest to the corner, there is an RX8 next to me to the left of my car backed in, next to the RX-8 is a Del Sol.
I walk up to my car on the driver side (which is also the driver side for the RX-8), the other guy walks up to the RX8 on the passenger side of it. I look inside of the RX8 thinking that it is his car.
I say: "you have an auto also huh?" He says "no... mine is a 5 speed." He is looking in the RX8 as I unlock my G and open the door. I am ready to respond by pointing out the shifter in his RX-8. But then I realize that he must own the Del Sol.

Other Guy: Oooooooohh! That's your car!
Me: yeeeaaaah (sarcastically)


I close the door and walk over to his Del Sol (looks nice has nice wheels on it) I ask so what ya got under the hood.
Other Guy: just an intake.
Me: I wouldn't mine heading down to the track; when do you want to go.
Other Guy: Well I was thinking on the way out here that with gas prices the way they are- I had better not waste it at the track. I say ok and chuckle as I head back to my building.

Okay I don't get it... Did you actually race your car against the RX-8 and the del sol or was this just a conversation?

haha...
he wanted to race, but only when he thought that I was driving the auto RX8. I guess he saw me coming from the vicinity of it and thought that I was driving. I thought that he was in the RX8 (because he was confused, he confused me) but he was actually in the Del Sol. After he saw that I was in the G35, he backed out coincidentally and once I saw that he was in the Del Sol and realized that he just got a reality check, I chucked at the whole misunderstanding.
